    An addictive vegetarian street food recipe for snack or meals. These Matar Tikki is perfect teatime snack or for 5pm hunger.

    It does make a delicious meal that is healthy too when you serve them as spicy Matar Tikki Chaat! You can stuff them as vegetarian burger patty as after school snack or lunch box. You will love it any which way!

    I am addicted to chaat and Tikki and matar chaat has always been a all time favorite. It’s always on menu when we are craving something tangy, spicy and crispy all at once.

    When I say I love chaat I really mean it, give me all those North Indian favourites, gol gappas, Dahi vada, dahi papadi I love them all ! I do not discriminate when it comes to chaat.

    As I said Aloo Tikki is my favorite most and so is this Masoor Dal paneer Tikki . But ever expanding waistline does not permit to indulge often in deep fried potato patties. So, I go for next best thing, I made my own Tikki chaat recipe that tastes incredibly delicious.

    Matar Tikkis that are not deep fried and cooked in minimal oil but still turn out crispy and there is no use of potato. Yes A healthy Tikki made without potato.

    Here’s presenting to you a healthy Chaat recipe “Matar Tikki Chaat”  You generally do not get this in market but It’s super easy to make so you can make it at home anytime.

    After Eating these Matar Tikki you do not even feel guilty. In fact these will make you feel better because you consumed a lot of veggies.

    For those who don’t know Green peas in Hindi are known as matar. So this is basically a green peas patty, shallow fried to crispy perfection and topped with a variety of toppings like chutneys yogurt and spice powders to make a delicious and healthy meal.

    Even if you don’t want toppings these Green Peas Tikki are a healthy and tasty 5pm snack to serve with ginger tea or coffee.

    Matar ki tikki

    I know many of you will say that I have used tamarind sauce/imli chutney which is slightly sweet. But you can make that without sweet if you wish to. Other than that everything is quite nutritious.

    Many of you do not eat Tikki chaat because you avoid potatoes for various reasons. So I came up with this recipe which I make without potatoes.

    So what did I add to make the taste creamy without potatoes. I used poha to make it crispy, poha is flattened rice. I washed poha and kept it for 5 minutes before using it.

    How To Make it

    Tips and Recipe Notes

    I know I have said these are healthy. So let me tell how what makes them healthy and tips to make best matar patties for chaat.

    • In this recipe I replaced bread crumb/maida/cornflour with fresh brown bread which crushed in grinder.
    • Also I added poha/flattened rice which is healthier option and iron rich too
    • I replaced potatoes with crushed matar or green peas.
    • And major instead of deep frying I fried them in very minimal amount of oil.

    Things to Take care for Best Results

    • Peas or matar should retain some texture after grinding, we do not want a pasty mixture.
    • You can adjust the quantity of bread crumbs to adjust the consistency of mixture. It should resemble soft dough and should not be watery.
    • Instead of mushrooms you can add grated carrots too.
    • While frying turn them gently and cook on medium to slow heat. 

    Can You Make Matar Tikki Ahead ?

    For best results I suggest cook them fresh. But You can always pre prep till shaping them You can store them in fridge for 1 day.

    When you are ready to eat or serve, take them out, shallow fry and these are ready to be served.

        Not required because peas get cooked very quickly. In this case more so because peas
        are crushed.
